Seeking photos of 5./KG55 He111P G1+FN FL Belgium on 13.05.40
Hello,
I'm trying to complete the EoE Photo collection of KG55 a/c that FL relatively intact during the Western Campaign of May-June 1940. This is one of the few such a/c for which we don't have photos. Can anyone help? 13 May 1940: 5./KG55 Heinkel He111P. Belly-landed at Attert (Belgium) damaged by AA fire and starboard engine destroyed in attacks by S/Lt Boutarel and S/Lt Salva of GC I/3 over Herbeumont 7.50 p.m. FF Oberlt Gottfried Weigel, BF Fähnrich Hans Ott, BM Uffz Karl Gerdsmeier, and BS Gefr Karl Geib all unhurt. Aircraft G1+FN 100% write-off. This crew was soon back on operations, Karl Gerdsmeier being wounded five days later. Apart from Ott, they were all shot down and captured on September 25, 1940, during a sortie to Bristol."
